Walmart has 1400 rd buckets of Rem. 22’s

[Greyman50]

Happened to go by sporting goods in local Walmart, know the guys that work sporting goods. Surprise, surprise as they had 1400 round buckets of Rem. 22 Golden bullets for $80. They still had boxes of the Win. 22 in the repro old yellow boxes. Have not heard good reports on either.

If Wal Mart has them, I would imagine Academy probably does also, and maybe cheaper. I haven't been inside an Academy for many months.

If my local WalMart has them, an employee will never show up to sell me one.

And 1100 of them will fire, on the first strike, if you are lucky.

It is such a pain in the *#@ to get someone to come open the Ammo cabinet. I did find out that at the auto center desk which at my Walmart is right next to sporting goods they have keys and will begrudgingly come open it (sometimes if you are lucky). They used to have a “need help” button to push but took it out. Very frustrating. If I tell my wife I am going to look at Ammo she says “see you in a half hour”.

Applicable to your Walmart as well.

I think the old-timey-looking yellow/red/black boxes are the most attractive rimfire packaging I have seen in 40 years. Those colors just work good with each other on all kinds of things.

Local gun shop turned into a cash grab shop and sells that bucket for $150
They have ammunition and a ridiculous amount of it but the prices are just insulting. They have several 10,000 round barrels of 5.56 for 8 grand.

Cabela's also had these bucket of bullets last time I was in there. $130 before tax for the .22lr. I didn't buy.

They're oaky for just plinking tin cans and such, but I wouldn't shoot them in a match. Nothing wrong with cheap .22 rimfire if you're not too concerned with accuracy. You will have many flyers and some duds!!!!!

I would not buy them. When they need to be doing it better, Remington continues to bring to market some of the worst rimfire ammunition out there.

Local Academy is Way Higher on All their ammo. Academy wants $8.OO+ for 50 rnd box of 22’s. Walmarts still get CCI Standard Velocity 22’s in at $4.85/50.
Not a fan of walmart but their ammo prices are still pretty good.

Walmart really has everyone beat as far as 22s go. While everyone and I mean everyone local or big box doubled or even tripled the price, they were selling for standard prices. I grabbed a bucket 6 months ago for $60. It wasn’t until recently they went up in price, and still within reason. I’m assuming they are just adjusting for their price. Makes you wonder what everyone else was doing. Even with the price going up they still have everyone beat. And don’t get me started on CTD. You can have their in stock 22 for the low price of a dollar a round.

The replacement for the "help" button -- just pick up the phone next to the register, hit the intercom button, and make a storewide announcement that customers in Sporting Goods are getting restless...

They’re the only standard 22s I’ve found that will run in my Walther P22.

Any other standard 22lr makes the P22 a jamomatic.

Would anyone be happy even if they were a penny each?

I would be! I hear all the talk about them not being any good, yet my guns feed and fire them just fine. They may not be match grade, but for general plinking and small game, they work.

 

[max503]

They were $65 before the crunch. Just sayin'.
I got one.

 

[skwchock]

no available in no. VA WalMarts ...

 

[glenwolde]

Oddly enough, these are extremely accurate in my 22a. Rarely a misfire, way less than 1%.

I don't think my Walmarts carry ammo anymore but I'll check.
